[Name: Vill-V]
[Charm: 18]
[Profile: Deputy Director, World Serpent Equipment Development; a brilliant dissociative genius—eccentric, but terrifyingly capable. Recommended target.]
[Affection: 40]
[Bond Quest 1: You successfully drew the genius's attention. But attention isn't enough—she still sees you as experimental material. You must make her curious. (Completed)]
[Reward: +2 Free Attribute Points; Talent: "Accelerated Thought (Excellent)" — faster Spirit recovery; Route Reward: +50 Heroic Points, +50 Sleazy Points]
Su Ming glared at the system.
That was "curiosity"? That was predation.
Then Vill-V's warning forced him to take things seriously. He made a list of World Serpent members who might one day lock him in a room "for research."
Eden: stable, but a dangerous drunk; always with Elysia—unpredictable enough to help Elysia pin him down "for fun."
Mobius: no explanation required.
Aponia: looks righteous and strict, but her "gravity" might be absurd; and she's in psychology—never trust psychologists.
Sakura: seemingly the least interested in romance, which is exactly why she's suspicious.
Vill-V: already acted.
Elysia: self-evident.
When he looked at the list, he realized—other than the mascot cat and the youngest one, Griseo, didn't he have to watch out for basically everyone?
This is ridiculous.
But before he could investigate further, someone knocked on his door.
"Mr. Su Ming, your scheduled visitor arrived early. Shall I let her in?"
So it begins.
Su Ming straightened behind his desk.
"Let her in."
An office lady stepped in, dressed in a sharp professional outfit that highlighted her mature aura.
And then Su Ming recognized her.
Bronya. The "mature" version.
The moment she saw Su Ming striking a classic "Commander Ikari" pose, she knew exactly what was happening: he was pretending to be profound while mentally spamming memes. She punctured him immediately.
"Even with me, you're still running 'serious mode,' Haki-Ming?"
Su Ming froze.
Bronya played games with him often—she even knew his worst jokes.
"Ugh… disgusting."
"'Haki-Ming' is rich, coming from a kid who only knows how to recite stale memes."
Bronya folded her arms with the satisfied leisure of a winner.
Su Ming retreated and changed topics.
"During work hours, let's stick to titles," he coughed. "Representative Bronya—does Anti-Entropy have new requirements for the order?"
Bronya sat opposite him, composed and confident.
"Yes. The requirements are complicated, and the process constraints are… special. We should go on site and speak directly with the factory manager."
Su Ming's eyes nearly betrayed him before he forced them back to professionalism.
"Ahem. That's fine. Shall we go now?"
"We can."
Bronya's smile lifted.
Perfect. The factory's near ME Corp. It's not hot outside. She could reasonably insist on walking together—and during that "alone time," she could work her way through him like a well-practiced dating sim.
Then, a calm voice cut in.
"You're going for an on-site visit? I can call the company car. I'll come too—it's a big Anti-Entropy deal, after all."
Bronya nearly slammed the table.
Mei had arrived—right on time.
She turned to Su Ming with the serene confidence of a lawful wife.
"What do you think, honey?"
Mei's smile met Bronya's gaze.
Bronya, in the business of stealing men… you still have practice to do.
